ActivatedYou: My Essential Wellness Routine for Travel

If you’re like me and you have a problem adulting, then you likely skip breakfast, skip your skincare routine, and grab whatever easy food you can while you’re traveling. I know, I know… it’s definitely not in the realm of best practices, but there are many times when I’m on the go shooting Weird World Adventures for Amazon Prime or working with a tourism board to put together some fascinating interviews and I find myself with no time. I’d rather sleep than grab breakfast. I’d rather get this beautiful shot than exfoliate… the wellness compromises start small and quickly grow. When this is the case, I usually get up before 7am to start working and find myself getting in bed after midnight. There’s just no time to sit down and focus on my nutrition, skin health, gut health, and all the other wellness essentials I should be focused on. I get caught up in the zone, and I lose any focus on myself. Luckily, ActivatedYou has created some amazing essentials that I carry with me on my adventures so I can live a happier, more nourished life even when on the go.

For me, waking up refreshed definitely doesn’t mean piling on makeup and trying “quick fixes” for my skincare routine, especially not while I’m traveling. Self-care is one of the first things that gets overlooked while traveling, and I’m trying hard every trip to prevent that. And as mentioned above, I’m the worse culprit of it. So, this is your gentle reminder to focus on yourself and take care of YOU, especially when you’re on the go. The way I do this is to bring my ActivatedYou’s Essential Skin Food with me, a science-backed supplement designed to support healthy collagen production.

Founded by Maggie Q and inspired by her experiences on her quest for optimum wellness, ActivatedYou is supported by real results, real solutions, and real science. As someone who is rooted in the worlds of skepticism, I like that each page across the ActivatedYou website includes links to scientific studies. Yes, please! 

Let’s discuss my favorite products to grab when I’m on my adventures. Since I just got back from a road trip across central Germany, these are fresh on my mind. One of my favorite supplements to bring with me is Morning Complete by ActivatedYou. I simply add this powder into my water in the morning, and I no longer have to worry about skipping breakfast. I never want to skip breakfast while I’m traveling, but time gets away from me, and I find it harder and harder to get up early to eat. With ActivatedYou’s Morning Complete, I don’t have to worry about missing my daily fiber, prebiotics, and probiotics while I’m on the road. If I can’t make it to breakfast, I simply add this to my water and still get my morning nutrients. It’s a win-win for me because I love the mixed berry flavor! This was my go-to while I was following the German fairy tale route.

Aside from the wear and tear of everyday life, the inconsistent sleeping hours and changing environments really mess with my skin while I travel. Because of this, the Essential Skin Food Skin Nourishing Collagen Support is another of my go-to picks for when I’m on the road. I’ve noticed that it helps to keep my skin plump, and the collagen boost has been said to encourage healthy cell turnover for smooth and radiant skin.

Finally, I can’t travel without my Immune Complete. My immune system is regularly compromised, and I’m jokingly the first person to get sick in my household. Thankfully I found the Immune Support Complex, which has helped me stay healthy while on the go in new environments. I love the peach-berry flavor, and the elderberry helps to support my energy levels and immune health.

So, the next time you go on a grand adventure (or a small road trip close to home), don’t forget to focus on your health! Prioritize your wellness by grabbing your ActivatedYou products. They make it quick and easy to take care of your health even when you are short on the time to think about it. They’re my go-to, and I hope they become yours, too.
